A numerical scheme to study the mixed states in a mesoscopic type-II superconducting cylinder is described. Steady-state configurations and transient behavior of the magnetic vortices for various values of the applied magnetic field H are presented. Transitions between different multi-vortex states as H is changed is demonstrated by contour plots and jumps in the B vs H plot. Evolving a uniformly-superconducting initial state using the simplest set of relaxation equations shows that the system passes through nearly metastable intermediate configurations, while seeking the final minimum-energy, steady state consistent with the square symmetry of the sample. An efficient scheme to determine the equilibrium vortex configuration in a mesoscopic system at any given applied field, not limited to the symmetry of the system, is devised and demonstrated.
